(seriously, though--much as I truly believe 10/29/77 is the greatest show of all time and you just called it overrated--I mean, seriously? were you listening to the CM upgrade at least?--But I fully acknowledge that in the end it's all subjective. The ear likes what the ear likes.)
Probably why my pick for most seriously overrated show is 2/26/77
Everyone raves about it b/c it has the 1st Terrapin, first Estimated, etc....but if you really listen, the Terrapin's pretty tepid, Jerry doesn't even get all the words right, the Estimated is so truncated in length and exploration you might as well listen to the album version, and there's dozens of other shows from later in the year (when the band REALLY started to hit its stride w.the Terrapin material, that are far far better (anything from May after or even March Winterland, for example).
so that one gets my vote.....but for the love of all that's Jerry, R&B...PLEASE give 10/29/77 another listen. I don't care if it's not in your top 10 or anything--but most overrated???? Blasphemy.
p.s. You correctly noted the incredible EYES jam....but if that's to your liking, how can you not say the same about the jams in the BERTHA, JACK STRAW, ESTIMATED, STEPHEN & SUGAR MAG???? Just to name a few from that show????
OK, I need to take some deep breaths and remember "that's what makes horse races" or some other non confrontational cliche.
